A method is presented for appraising the hazards to nuclear
power plants from missiles from surface traffic accident explosions.
Due to the infrequency with which surface traffic accident explosions
occur and the poor records kept concerning them, a probabilistic
method is chosen to investigate the overall hazards potential to
nuclear...
The purpose of this thesis is the determination of the load characteristics of the Steam-Hyciro-Electric Plant owned and operated by the Lebanon Electric Power and Water Co. This corporation furnishes electrical energy for power and lighting service and also the water supply to the city of Lebanon, Oregon.
The marked movement of utilizing Oregon's water power
in the service of generating electric current, has been promoted
by the economics in transmission of electricity to distances
both great and small; by the harnessing of industrial
implements to electric power; and by the advancement and extension
of interurban railways.
It...
A feasible development for a Hydro-Electric power
plant can be found in the Mary's River. About 9 miles
west of Corvallis, the north fork of the stream affords
an excellent situation for a dam site. The canon of
the north fork at this point is very narrow, and having
good...
